No time to soak the urad dal overnight grind it and wait for it to ferment and all. Then here is a simple and quick way to enjoy smooth and fluffy idlis without that ordeal. The fun in making Rava idli is its almost as easy and delicious as Upma . The recipe is exactly same as making upma but you add curd to it instead of water and steam them (This part makes them taste a bit different to upma).

2. Now add the semolina/sooji/rava and roast for couple of minutes. Don’t let it burn.

3. Now let the mixture cool for a while. Say for 5-7 minutes.

4. Now add the beaten curd to this mixture and make it into a pouring batter.

5. Now take an idli plate rub some oil on the round imprints to make the idli come out easily. Just to garnish add small pieces of coriander ( or any vegetable u like) and then pour the batter just upto the brim.

6. Take a pressure cooker add 2 cups water and keep it on stove on medium low .

7. Stack the idli patra and keep it carefully into the pressure cooker and cover it with a lid and with out whistle . (keep it on medium – high)

8. Wait for about 15minutes and switch off the stove. ( or the steam from the cooker stops if you had right amount of water into the cooker)
